gone to his rest and reward. Having
gone beyond his four score years
and having labored long and sue
cessfully in the Masters cause. This
good brother has lain his armor
down and gone to his eternal home,
which remainetll for all the people
Of God. Also our dear brother, Ed.
w. S. Capps, has been called upon
to lay aside his weapons Of warfare
and enter into that blessed land oil
eternal bliss. Comparatively veg
and seemingly IL .s,aa midst OF bis

t His wisdom to bid him come uL
higher.
/ While our hearts are made sad
over the loss of these dear brothers
we bow in humble submission to the
will of our heavenly Father, know
ing that he doeth all things we'll
Though we weep, we weep not as

mend them to the grace Of God who
alone is able to bind up the broken
/ hearted. Submitted,
